If I can get Windows to overwrite the MBR and be able to boot into Windows that will be fine too...I don't absolutely need to use grub...I can always use the Windows loader and save myself headaches....

I now have Karmic installed and it even made a new grub menu file and did not list any Windows OS at all. When I boot into Karmic it doesn't even have any other drives mounted on the desktop like it...
